It’s unfortunate, but accidents and injuries happen on Carnival Cruise Ships more often than most people realize. 
With 23 cruise ships and millions of passengers each year, accidents are bound to occur. Some are simply “just accidents” and others are caused because of the negligent actions of the cruise line or its crew members.
Carnival Cruise slip and fall injuries often include:
- Head injuries and concussions
- Knee injuries
- Back injuries, slipped disks, herniated disks, etc.
- Broken bones – fingers, wrists, arms, legs, ankles
- Internal injuries
Many of these injuries can be quite serious, involving visits to doctors and hospitals, complicated medical procedures, surgery and rehabilitation. They can also involve troubles with insurance claims and missed time at work (equaling missed salary or earning potential).
If you’ve been injured while sailing with Carnival and believe that your injury was sustained due to the negligence of the crew, the cruise line or even a fellow passenger, you may have a potential claim.
Can I file an injury claim or sue Carnival Cruise for a slip and fall accident?
Many passengers don’t even realize that Carnival cruise line might be liable for injuries sustained while on the cruise. You may also not know that by filing a claim (assuming it can be proven the cruise line did something wrong) you can get a settlement or verdict against Carnival that will help pay for medical bills, missed time at work and other compensatory and punitive damages.
If you believe you have a claim against Carnival Cruise Lines – or even if you’re unsure about your options – you should speak with cruise ship injury lawyers who have years of experience representing passengers and crewmembers.
